   Something very weird is happening on my P2 install after having tried this plugin.

   I find myself unable to turn off markdown parsing!

   What I did is: I tried both "Markdown on Save" and "Markdown for P2", to see which one worked better for me.

   Then suddenly, I noticed that I could not see the raw markdown version anymore when editing. After hitting "publish", I would always see the full HTML, even in the edit window.

   This worried me, so I disabled and deleted both extensions: this didn't help, any markdown is still auto-converted into html.

   In addition to that, the syntax isn't transformed correctly.

   # Something like this should give a H1 header

   but it's transformed into:

   <ol>
   <li>an ordered list</li>
   </ol>

   So I'm not sure if the problem is directly related with your plugin, or with "Markdown on Save", but basically my usage of markdown is pretty much broken now :(

   To give some more detail:

   If I re-install and activate your plugin, everything is working fine, markdown gets parsed correctly (the above code becomes H1), and during editing I can see the raw markdown syntax.

   As soon as I disable your plugin, I have the problem described above. Pretty weird. But at least the plugin works...

   Ok, now I finally understand where the confusion came from. My impression that the plugin continued to parse my posts even after being disabled came from P2 itself - this theme has a few markdown-like parsing functions built-in!

   Here is the official information:

   So the # in the beginning of the line being transformed into a numbered list is the normal way of P2 parsing.
